WHAT WE DO:
We support young Indonesians to address overlooked environmental issues on land and in the ocean. These young leaders work together with local communities and decision-makers to solve conservation problems. We connect young conservationists with experts to create networks for knowledge exchange and to design effective action. Supported by mentors, we enable them to find appropriate so
lutions that allow people and nature to thrive. We step into issues or locations that do not have sufficient devoted resources: knowledge, funding and dedicated people. VISION AND PURPOSE
We want to live in a world where anyone can be a conservationist, where people from all backgrounds are empowered to create positive environmental change in their own communities, and where the traditional barriers to a career in this sector are a distant memory. Ultimately, we want to live in a world where people and nature re-connect and thrive together. OUR VALUES:
Thrive Conservation are champions of the underdog. We believe innovation isn’t limited by a person’s background, but we fully recognise their disparity of opportunity. We exist to challenge the status quo of our sector and make conservation more accessible, transparent, and accountable. We see first-hand the breadth of incredible emerging talent which, if not properly supported, is at risk of being lost. Thrive Conservation is founded as a commitment to realising this potential. We will celebrate and encourage innovation from all backgrounds, enabling local people to protect their environment, value their contribution and see a viable future, which can grow from their passion. As we work to realize our goals, we will never lose sight of our core values. WE ARE, AND WILL ALWAYS BE:
1. Compassionate: Our organisational culture and projects are built on foundations of understanding and respect.
2. Creative: we encourage creative problem solving and ensure our teams have the flexibility to experiment and learn from failures.
3. Courageous: we have the strength to stand up for what is right over what is comfortable or easy, and the courage to stay true to our values even in the face of adversity. We will build a foundation for future projects on these pillars, practically and fairly supporting individuals, inspiring their communities and contributing to the global movement towards a healthier environment.
